2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his second year with the Patriots, Judon finished the 2022 season with 60 tackles, a team-high 15.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in 17 games. As long as he continues to make his mark as a pass rusher - he also logged 12.5 sacks in 2021 - the 6-3, 261-pound linebacker will remain a cornerstone of New England's defense, as well as a player worthy of IDP consideration.

Shifts to IR
The Patriots placed Judon (biceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Judon underwent surgery Oct. 4 after tearing his biceps in Week 4 against the Cowboys, with Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reporting that the star edge rusher was expected to be out for at least two months. Rookie Marte Mapu and Anfernee Jennings should both see increased workloads in Judon's absence.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Talking extension with Pats
Judon and the Patriots have begun preliminary discussions about a contract extension, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The star edge rusher restructured his existing contract last offseason and has just a $6.5 million base salary for 2024, but it was done in the understanding a new contract would be worked out this spring. Judon wound up tearing his bicep and playing only four games last year, but New England is still interested in keeping him in the fold, albeit potentially on a more incentive-laden deal. The 31-year-old recorded 28.0 sacks over the prior two seasons, and even in his abbreviated 2023 campaign he racked up 4.0 sacks in his four contests.

Judon, who signed a four-year, $54.5 million contract with the Patriots prior to the 2021 season, finished his first campaign with the team with 60 tackles and a fumble recovery to go with a team-high 12.5 sacks (tied for the seventh-highest mark in the NFL) in 17 games. The linebacker turns 30 in August and once again will be counted on to be a key cog in the Patriots defense, thanks to his pass-rushing utility.
